Janet Coleman

Ms. Bembry’s Teaching PhilosophyMy personal philosophy as an educator is to motivate and challenge my students to dream, achieve, and succeed ! I want my students to think outside the box, and beyond the statistical norm of dichotomist thinking. I want my students to value their self worth, take responsibility for his or her actions, and understand that obstacles in life are variables that everyone will experience in their lifetime; however, how you break through your barrier is way more important than your fall! I want my students to understand that education is important and should not be taking lightly. I believe that every student can learn to his or her maximum potential through perseverance, guidance, and preparation.
